A probable relative of P. solidum Mett., and P. corticolum C. Clir. {P. glan- 
dulosum Hook.) ; but longer, narrower, less coriaceous tlian the former and not 
glabrous; larger than the latter, and essentially different in the position of the 
sori, which are subterniinal on the veinlets of P. corticolum, but basal on these 
of P. Merritti.

This is in the group of P. neglectum BL, and P. Nummularium Mett. It may 
be the P. rhynchophyllum of Christ (Bull. Herb. Boiss. 6 (1898) 199) but not 
of Hooker Sp. Fil. 1 : 05. It is decidedly smaller than this Indian fern, with 
rather immersed sori not confined to the upper jiart of the frond, and larger 
areolae with excurrent veinlets. 
^ Polypodium Nummularium Mett. I am unable to distinguish P. hammatisorum 
Harrington. The plant is a Phymatodes, rather than a Goniophlebium.

This species was prepared for public<ation in my preceding paper; but, after 
the galley proof was corrected, I received a letter from Dr. Christ identifying 
Elmer’s 6400 as P. mengtzeense. Having only the description of P. mengtzeense,
